<h2>Answer: The Reconstruction
</h2>
The Reconstruction was a period that came immediately after the end of the civil war in the United States, where the 11 southern confederate states tried to separate themselves from the rest of the country because of ideological differences, but mainly because of the slavery issue. Since the Southern states wanted to maintain the slavery system, while in the Northern states there were already free African-Americans.
This war broke out during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln and lasted four years (1861-1865), leaving thousands of dead on both sides and the southern territories (including crops and architecture) destroyed.
After the end of the war a period of tension was maintained, however Abraham Lincoln devised a plan to rebuild the southern states and reform the laws to give freedom to the slaves.
Lincoln was assassinated and the new president Andrew Johnson, continued with his position to unite the north and the south. It should be noted that during this period, which lasted twelve years, those who were slaves were given freedom and they were given <u>civil rights</u>, including the <u>right to vote</u>.
They tortured and imprisoned Native Americans. Women were often raped.

Intellectual property is just as essential to freedom as other forms of property, and just as morally justified. It secures the same type of labor and the same values as property. It thus secures the life and liberty of its owners, and provides uniquely important support to free expression and free inquiry :)
The main issues that were compromised on in the Constitutional Convention were:
- The Great Compromise, creating a bicameral Congress
- The 3/5ths Compromise, making slaves count as 3/5ths of a person
- Commerce Compromise, mandating that tariffs were only to be allowed on imports from foreign countries and not exports from the U.S., and that interstate commerce would be regulated by the federal government.
- Compromise on Trade of Enslaved People, when Northern states agreed to wait until 1808 before Congress would be able to ban the trade of enslaved people in the U.S.
- The Electoral College compromise, when the two sides debating at the convention compromised with the creation of the Electoral College, which is made up of electors roughly proportional to population.
